click() question

[Don Lancaster]

I want to programatically force click a certain radio button named
"fourdp".

A click(fourdp) ; returns an undefined error.
What am I doing wrong?

html objects are in a distinct space from JavaScript objects. You have to use an
accessor method like

document.getElementById('fourdp').click();

where fourdp is the id (not necessarily the name) of the element.

If I try adding an ID="fourdp" etc to the radio buttons, the return
error message is

OBJECT DOESN'T SUPPORT THIS PROPERTY OR METHOD.

Can a radio button have an ID?

Sure they can. Make sure they each have a different id.

Finally worked it out.

form.hominydp.fourdp.click() ;

apparently works properly
